“One of the stated goals of X school is to provide opportunities for students to achieve their maximum academic potential and to master various learning techniques. The achievement of academic potential and the mastery of learning techniques require honest and consistent effort by the student. These goals are underminded by plagiarism and other forms of cheating. Therefore, each student is expected to submit only his or her own work on tests and assignments (including daily homework). The student should acknowledge all sources of information on research assignments. The student should neither give nor receive assistance on tests.”

“A student shall not cheat on tests or other school assignments, or plagiarize. Any student caught cheating on a quiz, test, or project will receive a zero and may be subject to disciplinary action. Any student who steals the instructional materials from a teacher or staff member will be subject to disciplinary action. Any student, who knowingly provides a term paper, project or test information for another student will be subject to disciplinary action.”

“X holds itself to the highest standards in all endeavors and defines excellence as achievement with integrity. The core values of honesty, fairness, and responsibility are central to the discussion of academic integrity. There can be no excellence without strong commitment to these values. Violations of academic integrity will be dealt with seriously and consistently, but also with understanding, compassion, and with education in mind. Instances of dishonesty, however, cannot be excused, and if the nature and extent of the pattern of misconduct warrants it, a student may be dismissed from the school.”

“The school community strives to implement moral values in all aspects of the school’s operation. Understanding the moral responsibility of the school as a Christian community to address the issues involved when academic violations by students occur, the following policy has been established to deal with these academic violations…

…. The student will then meet with the Dean of Academics, who will make a record of the violation. ..The purpose of this meeting is not to be seen as punitive, but rather as pastoral. The Dean will dialogue with the student for the purpose of determining the root causes of the behavior and choices that led to the violation. It is the goal of the meeting to help the student recognize his responsibilities as a student of X and a citizen of the United States to act with integrity and honesty.”

“Learning is the pursuit of truth. As truth is the goal, truthfulness must also characterize the pursuit. Each student’s academic integrity is of paramount importance and must be preserved for the student’s moral good as well as that of the school. Just as academic integrity must be preserved, academic dishonesty must be intolerable. Should a student choose to be dishonest, the student will suffer the consequences outlined below. All students sign the Honor Code as part of their Commitment to the High School Mission.”
